I've been struggling with plantar faciia for a couple of years and the trail runs get really agonizing when my arch gets sore (not willing to run with a steel shank in my shoe so that i can step on rocks!). Another thought is to run the 100 in Vermont.<BR/><BR/>I can run uphill all day, but haven't figured out how to get my quads in shape to handle the downhills on the long runs. I did the Zermatt marathon last summer and the few small downhill portions in the last 1/3 of the race destroyed me. <BR/><BR/>So, all that said, I thought the SF One Day would be a decent 'start'...With the short loop, it would help ensure i got enough fluids and calories -- I tend to be a knucklehead and never drink enough!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your thoughts!!!<BR/><BR/>MikeWyoRunRhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08848853946800223273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15115012.post-36579394644374138162007-03-09T05:29:00.000-08:002007-03-09T05:29:00.000-08:00CatraNope haven't been to the big Cali yet....me s...Catra<BR/><BR/>Nope haven't been to the big Cali yet....me sister lives in San Fran...so someday I'll boogie me butt out there. I've been racing cross county for 10+ years, this is me first year for the solo ultra endurance races. I'm thinking more bang for me buck:) Seems I've been doing this for so long I've got the nutricianal part dialed in, just have to work on the endurance strength. Teri and I are getting some more ink next week....stop by too see the photos.<BR/><BR/>PeaceSquirrelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05620802289340244245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15115012.post-176272974631700902007-03-08T17:21:00.000-08:002007-03-08T17:21:00.000-08:00Hi Mike-Depends on the course.
